Lyrics

If there's someone waiting counting minutes ticking by
For a message to come through or for your voice on the line
If there's a message sewn in secret with the strings of her heart
Trace lines left by cupid’s needle when you're feeling far apart
Why would I wanna know?

If there's a memory made with her held in your mind so dear
Some memento that you treasure hiding in plain sight 'round here
Some keepsake you touch when I'm not around
If you lose your breath for missing someone in another town
Why would I wanna know?

Why would I wanna know about a heart split in two?
Why would I wanna hear how well she understands you?
Why would I wanna feel like I'm playing the fool?
Why would I wanna know for certain what I already do?
Why would I wanna know?

Truth ain't always a gift laid out in the light
Some things are better kept in the dark of night

Your fingers flutter 'cross your lips like they belong to someone else
Heard you hummin’ old love songs when you think you're by yourself
You're only half paying attention to what's going on at home
Never leave the room without picking up your phone
I'll never ask you straight to say what's bound to only hurt us more
We said no strings at the start, but that was years ago
Why would I wanna know?
